I noticed my Mrs common BN has white ''marks'' around her mouth / nose, I'm guessing HLLE but it's not anywhere else.

Can canyone please advise on what it is and best treatment possible for her.

She was fine yesterday and the day before that she laid her biggest ever clutch of eggs.

HELP!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Meds in hand are : Met blue, No.9 , No. 8 and no.6 ( but know it's not WS)


** EDIT: Dad is fine and showing no signs of anything, nor are the guppies in there. Mum is still eating, she's scoffing cucumber as I type **

White marks on the mouth if flexibactor columnaris it can also affect the whole face and rot it away.
The mouth does it look fluffy in appearance.

You need to treat the plec with a bacterial med liike anti internal bacteria med by interpet.

The plec is in a bad way and the longer you leave it the chances of saving the fish are slim.
It already looks to late to me.
I would add the anti internal bacteria med by interpet.
It would be better if you could issolate the fish.
Increase aeration in the tank when you add the med,
Methylene blue can wipe all the benefical bacteria out in your filter, so no I wouldn't use it.
